Vote, Young Man! Book jacket
The brief for this project asked for three complete book jackets that were political in nature. It was requested that they have colors or imagery that conveyed themes of America and American politics without going overboard, and it was not to represent any one particular political party.
MOma catalogue Design
The brief for this assignment asked for two book covers relating to a fictional exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art called Material Worlds: Object As Character. The exhibition was meant to showcase the characterization of props and clothing in film. My designs were inspired by two of the films that were going to be on display. The books were also meant to be designed around a specific style of binding: Swiss Binding with a spine that is visible on the front and back. All illustrations were done by me.
invisible cities Cover design
This project was a redesign of the book “Invisible Cities” by Italo Calvino (1972). The assignment was to design one book cover, hoping to capture the sort of fantastical, sci-fi-eque style of the cities described throughout the novel. It was requested that the imagery on the cover be somewhat abstract, with preference shown for composite images.
War of the worlds book jacket
The 2005 rendition of War of the Worlds was always one of my favorite movies growing up (even though the horn sound the tripods made scared me so much I'd start crying whenever I tried to watch it), so I was very excited to get the chance to illustrate a book jacket for the novel. One of the stipulations was that I had to design my own version of the tripod, so I went with a brain-like creature with towering legs and many additional tentacle-like limbs. The main body of the machine is separated into different segments, mimicking the division of the lobes in the brain. I also included a cerebellum, because I figured the gangly tripods would need as much help as they could get with balance and fine motor skills.
